Omega-3s can help brain zaps also.

Thanks for the tip. The problem is that Pristiq comes in only two tablets, 100 mg and 50 mg. Since they are Extended Release tablets, they cannot be cut. So I'm taking 50 mg once in two days and anything beyond that,I start getting brain zaps. I wish there was a way to taper at a 10 percent rate,but sadly I don't know one yet.
